Accent Accidents

On today’s episode we are talking about how we talk to our furry friends. If you have a fur baby and talk to them in a fun baby voice you’re not alone. We talk about why we humans do this and why our animals respond to it. Hannah shows off her Scottish accent in this week’s What’s this Word. And we have a phone number where you can text and call us! Listen to get the digits.

In today episode we sat down with avid TikToker and linguist, Juliane Bilotta, who holds a masters degree in linguistic anthropology and is currently working on her Ph.D. Wow!

Former co-worker and friend, Karen Cooper, joins us this week as we dissect the “Karen” slur. Our Karen is pretty far from the common memed Karens of the world but we discuss how all of us have a Karen within us, even men. Born and raised outside of Manhattan in a New Jersey suburb, Karen talks about the common misconceptions she dealt with. We also play a new game, and Hannah’s “What’s the Word” gets silly. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/accentaccident/message

This episode may be short but somehow the topic of butts just keeps coming up. From our fave Friends characters to our least fave Tiger King zoo owners, we talk about how to properly respond to "thank you" and how you’ll never get a doggy bag in Australia. We go deep on the 13th element in the Periodic Table, and how you say the name of the seventh planet from the sun. Hannah sings, Evan mansplains, and we learn Anna's a snob. It's another must listen ep.
